Sun Apr 27 23:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Celtics’ Brown to Play in Game 4 Against Magic; Holiday Out
**BOSTON, MA –** The Boston Celtics will face the Orlando Magic in Game 4 of their Eastern Conference first-round series on Sunday night with a key player returning to the lineup, but another sidelined. All-NBA forward Jayson Tatum is off the injury report after a bruised wrist, while Jaylen Brown, upgraded from questionable to available, will play despite dealing with a right knee issue and a dislocated finger. However, guard Jrue Holiday will miss the game due to a strained right hamstring.
Brown, who has battled knee pain throughout the season, will suit up despite the lingering discomfort and a recently dislocated finger. He has played significant minutes despite the injury, but the team has managed his playing time throughout the year.
Holiday, meanwhile, will be absent for a second consecutive game after suffering a hamstring strain. Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla expressed optimism about Holiday’s recovery, indicating he is progressing well but will remain sidelined for Sunday’s crucial contest. The Celtics hope to take a commanding 3-1 series lead with a win at home.
